Tiresius.. I was not very carefull with this however it is a quote from Goerte's Faust either of could check to see it verbatim I suppose.

"I prefer, like a cat, to play with a mouse that squeeks!" ~mephistopheles

I is the subject.
like a cat modifies prefer as in how do I prefer.

"to play" is the verb phrase
and a mouse that squeeks is the predicate.

Or I would guess I have not had an english class in 12 years.
and I think it has bean 10 since I read that book so I may be mis quoting.

thanks for the heads up anyway I will check it out.
